Working for an operator or for a vendor ?

[Jerry]

to me, working in vendor and operator both have good things. so better try to work both. operator is better for older ones and vendor is better for new.

What is better for a newly graduate engineer :

1. Working as an integration engineer with a vendor.
2. Working as a RF planing and optimisation engineer with an operator.

thank for your answers

I think if you a fresh engineer, you should work for vender when you have a choice. So, vendor want experience engineer because they use person in projects. For this reason, operator is better choice for you. I think so!

Jerry has made an absolutely excellent remark..I do agree w/ the comments...Otherwise, Huawei (and to other extent: HTE) has made the cover of the illustrious magazine "The Economist" for this week...Telco folks should read the coverage on the company and see the trend of our industries so that they can better position themselves w. the wind...

Hello,
Forget about Operators, Vendor engineers generally have deeper information while operator engineers need help from vendor engineers.

It depends. Really.
Worth to try at both sides - absolutely different experience.
